Technoquintlan

Premise: Crackfic Earth-Tricin (the old one), Inthar and Schngellstein were the first ones to know of the other worlds and so they compiled information on their languages and passed it off as their own, and six conworlders (Cole, Athitrydhen, Inthar, Plu, Balang, and Schngellstein) create a far-future version of the world they're living in

Etymology: Quintlanic + techno(logy) + Tenochtitlan

Spatial reach

Aim for planets close to Earth and Tricin, as well as some moons

• Earth
• Moon (satellite)

• Tricin
• Somin (satellite)
• Alvorin
• Firotin

Main languages

Colloquial languages

There are over 20,000 colloquial languages spoken in Technoquintlan. The most spoken is ??? followed by ???. Scellan lost its status as a lingua franca very quickly, at about fT 2350, and English and Clofabosin lose their status as lingua francas at around fT 2700.

• Nahuatl (main Earth language)
• Naquian (main Tricin language)
• Anglo-Clofabosin (??? placeholder name)
  • Madison Tyndall Nibuterol (Medisån Tindol Nibuterol), the new Ativan
  • Six vowels: a e i o u å /a ɛ i ɔ u ə/
• A future version of Hlou

Academic languages

The two main academic languages of Technoquintlan are:

• Ntzog Nlab (pure mathematicians, physicists, programmers, essentially Future Hlou)
• Akademiesprache (applied mathematicians, chemists, biologists, other applied fields, essentially Germano-Greek)

They were created in the period between fT 2400-2550 (approx. Earth 2100-2250) and they were somehow adopted as lingua francas within the academic community. An experiment was created to attempt to have a child with Ntzog Nlab as its native language. Sadly the experiment didn't work and he learned Hlou instead. However, there are many Akademiesprache native speakers in Kardän, Neu-Europa.

Musical cultures

Most, if not all, major Terran and Trician musical cultures were preserved:

• Western European (12edo diatonic)
• Sinitic (12edo pentatonic/infradiatonic (Yasser))
• Clofabian (meantone/12edo and 7edo)
• Indian (roughly 5-limit JI)
• Talman-Hlou (tonality diamond scales)
• Arab (roughly 24edo, heptamaqamic)
• Bjeheondian (roughly 24edo, pentamaqamic)

However, other musical cultures were created due to either prolonged contact or prolonged isolation of Terran and/or Trician groups.

Aim for a Technoquintlan#UnXen

(10edo, 34edo, 41edo)

EDO-based

• Clofabo-Dutch (31edo) (basically meantone + 3L 4s + harmonic scale from 7-14 + corresponding subharmonic scale, nothing too adventurous)
  • Main pitched instruments (all traditionally fully mechanical, though electronic versions are common):
    • focefluin or Fokker-orgel (Fokker organ)
    • focepressin or Fokker-klavecimbel (Fokker harpsichord)
    • focepressofluin or Fokker-klaveorgel (technically a misnomer, Fokker claviorganum)
  • Uses Fokker layout for 31edo and Western staff notation
  • Main unpitched instruments: pictin of course
  • Borrows inspiration from Baroque music as well as traditional Clofab folk music (uses 3L 4s as an approximation to the acen's 7-note scale)
  • Western musical forms

Miscellaneous

Arabo-Bjeheondo-Finnish hemipyth tradition (insert hemipyth nonsense here probably)
